MEETINGS:
Our meetings will be held the 1^st and 3^rd Wednesday of every month after AVS students are dismissed from school at 3:20pm.  Troop leaders will meet Daisy Troop girls in the cafeteria and bring them to the designated room in AVS. 

The meeting will end at 5pm.  Parents can meet us in the front lobby of the school and we will bring the girls to you at that time.  

Please write a note giving your daughter permission to stay after for our GS meetings.  Your daughter's teacher should know what days she will be staying after for our Girl Scout meetings to avoid any confusion.   (Please see dates below.)  One permission note is okay to use throughout the year.  Heather and I will also send teachers a list of dates and the names of the girls that will be participating in our meetings to ensure the safety of each Daisy:-)

UNIFORMS:

We would like the girls to come to each meeting wearing their daisy tunic to add to the spirit of Girl Scouts! The cost for the tunic, petals, flag, pins, etc. will be sent out via email.  We recommend going to the local Girl Scout store located in Bedford.  However, if you prefer you can go online too.  

Each parent is asked to help their daughter with assembling the uniforms with pins and patches.  We will include a picture so that you can see where each patch goes.  Please let us know if you have any questions and we would be happy to help.
